Passing cars were beeping their horns in support of the man.
A police spokeswoman said: "Police in Loughborough cordoned off an area after a man climbed on to the roof of a house, just before 9am.
"Specially trained negotiators spoke to him and, in the interests of public safety, cordons were put in place while the incident was ongoing.
"He eventually came down at 6.30pm and was arrested."
She said that no-one was hurt.
